Coopers Lodge is an exceptional and deceptively spacious three-bedroom cottage forming part of the prestigious Mermaid Court development in the heart of the sought-after Wiltshire village of Christian Malford.<br/><br/>Originally part of the historic former Mermaid Inn, this beautifully converted Grade II listed building combines timeless character with stylish contemporary living. Having since been thoughtfully and tastefully enhanced by the current owners, the property is now presented to an impeccable standard throughout, offering a warm and elegant home ready to move straight into.<br/><br/>Accessed via the original front entrance of the former public house, the property immediately impresses with its abundance of charm, exposed beams, high ceilings and striking architectural features. The heart of the home is the magnificent open-plan living, dining and kitchen space, centred around an impressive fireplace with log-burning stove, creating a wonderfully inviting atmosphere.<br/><br/>The bespoke fitted kitchen is both stylish and practical, featuring quartz worktops with matching upstands and a range of integrated Bosch appliances, including a wine chiller. A separate snug provides a cosy additional reception space, ideal as a reading room, home office or television room, while a cloakroom and useful boiler/storage/utility cupboard complete the ground floor accommodation.<br/><br/>The first floor offers two generous double bedrooms, including an impressive principal bedroom with a beautifully appointed fully tiled (and tanked) en-suite shower room.

Finished with stylish contemporary paving, this low maintenance garden enjoys a wonderful sense of space and sunshine, ideal for relaxing with family and friends throughout the warmer months. <br/><br/>Further features include three allocated parking spaces, underfloor heating to the ground floor powered by an energy-efficient air source heat pump system, fitted flooring and high-quality finishes throughout.<br/><br/>Mermaid Court itself is an exclusive courtyard development of just seven individually designed homes, carefully created around the historic former Mermaid public house. The development blends sympathetically into the surrounding village and offers an attractive and peaceful setting with a strong sense of community.<br/><br/>This is a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful yet highly efficient modern home, combining historic charm with contemporary comfort in one of North Wiltshire’s most desirable village settings.<br/><br/><b>Christian Malford</b> - Christian Malford is a picturesque and thriving village with a rich history dating back to the Domesday Book.
